Got back out riding... yesterday now.(its early) The gist of this story is that i gave away enough gas to use up my mix can. I was hesitant to substitute my Maxima castor 927,(Sunday, everybody is either riding or in church, certainly no power-sports shops open) however under pressure i bent and picked up AMS oil Dominator.(ready and available) I proceeded to mix @ 32/1. I drained the contents of the gas tank. Then filled the gas tank with the new mix.(petcock off) I then warmed up the bike until the float bowl was nearly empty... and then opened the petcock.
I finished warming up the bike and then set out on the M20 trailhead.(ORV portion not MCCCT) The wether was a humid upper 80's. It was early to mid afternoon in the shade cover, of the forest.
As a side note. Over Memorial day weekend, in the heat, the bike had been slugish, and down on power when HOT.(air cooled)
Today the ride was hot, but pleasant. The bike kept putting down the power. The gears didn't feel at all flat and powerless like the last couple of rides.
I am thinking of sticking with this oil during the warm part of the year... but am still hesitant to change oils. Any experience with this would be greatly appreciated. If you have any experience with changing the mix oil up, on a air cooled 2 stroke, please chime in even if its just a few words.
Thanks
